I spent a while looking for a blue theme yesterday and didnt find anything in here, so I moved to other forums and found the beautiful MattedBlues theme. I decided to port it even though it was for cm. It came out pretty nice, but I left the notification bar black since a gradient on the notification bar came out really low quality. I'm willing to update this and encourage you guys to find things to change. I packaged this in metamorph so it would be really simple to install, but if you're new to it, i'll give a short tutorial below. There's also an cwm zip for kb1 and cog now.
SCREENSHOTS:
I only themed the framework-res and twframework-res, and metamorph only changes the included files, so all of your prescious lock screens are safe
Morph for JPY/JS7:

Morph for KB1/Cognition 4.1:

Flashable zip for KB1/Cog:

Flashable zip for Cog with boot and shutdown anims included:

I ALSO made accompanying boot and shutdown animations. It's just a blue version of the ones in serendipity, but I think it adds a nice touch

Released
Tutorials
HOW TO INSTALL THEME:
Install metamorph (I think you need busybox too, so install that if you don't have it)
Download zip file
Move to SD card
open metamorph (press start checks)
press unzip/extract new theme
select zip and press close on window that pops up
press apply all and continue
WHEN IT PROMPTS YOU TO REBOOT, SAY NO. (you can, but then you have to repeat this process)
press pick existing theme and press BlueGB
Press blueGB.xml and then close on window
Apply all, continue, blah blah blah, when it prompts you to reboot the 2nd time say yes.
I think I read in a swype theme thread that you should always apply themes twice with metamorph. I ran into this when I was testing it and had to apply the theme twice to get it to work, so just do it to be safe.
HOW TO INSTALL BOOT ANIMATION:
1) Download the free app "Boot Animation Changer LITE" from the market
2) Plug phone into computer and turn on USB storage
3) Go to bootanims/stock
4) Replace bootanimation.zip with the one in the OP
5) Turn off USB storage
6) Allow su permissions, click on animations, scroll to STOCK, and press "Change to boot animation"
7) Let it do it's thing and restart. You should have the new boot animation!
This looks awesome! Will be using this for a while
Also, why did the title bar look like a bad resolution? How did you uncompress/recompress it?
Be sure to not use any compression at all... just put it in a zip file with no compression, otherwise it will make your images look bad...

EDIT EDIT: Still didn't work
Can someone make a KB1 compatable version?
with no clock !!
Man that's weird, looks bad without compression but with compression it looks a bit better... I'll mess around with this for a while, you can try it (just another morph to put on top) here if you'd like. As for KB1, could you do a nandroid backup and test it? AFAIK (PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG) it should work for most of it, and extra files in the framework shouldn't get it stuck on a bootloop. If you tell me what's not themed, I can try to fix it.
EDIT: Oh, and comparison
WITH COMPRESSION

running this on uckb1. the toggles are off a little (mixed between old and new tw-framework), and whenever you have five bars of reception, it reverts back to white signal bars (serendipity is based on an i9000 framework, i believe, which only has four signal status bars).
i'd like to see this for uckb1 completely, but it does give me a solid black status bar, for which i'm eternally grateful. thanks much
EDIT: for boot and shutdown animations ... bootanimation.zip goes into /system/media, intact (use root explorer. your quality of life will quadruple after buying this app). shutdown.zip gets extracted; take the folder inside (shutdown) and put in /system/media/video. again, use root explorer.

Haha already running redrom, but just put yours over it. The red was glaring into my retinas.
Hoping this will work nicely with my new cog 4.1, first time I flashed so I'm trying to customize it and get further away from samsung's stock
Can you guys on kb1 post screenshots of the toggle icons and other things that aren't working? Also, I think I'm almost done with v1.1 with the semi-transparent notification menu and maybe some additional app theming, but since some of you like the black statusbar, i'll leave the original up too. I'd love to get this working on kb1 I'll look into the blue orb screen and do the best I can.
hopefully that's clear enough. wifi, bluetooth, and gps are on, silent and auto-rotation aren't. the notification background is stock.
thanks for the effort - just my two cents, but i'd love a transparent notification drawer background with black status bar.
edit: the battery icon reverts to touchwiz animation while charging.

Could you try this? It should give you the transparent notification menu. As for the toggle icons, I know exactly what's wrong but it may take a little extra time to finish because I'm going to use different icons (without the little bar thing).

Would you be ok if I just made 4 bars show up as 3 and 5 show up as 4? That's the simplest solution I can think of. I'll try to fix the battery thing right now, too.

This was created for the Vibrant, but I see no reason why it would not be compatible with the Captivate. Enjoy.
This Metamorph changes the status bar and status icons to the Sense theme. Make sure you are using the latest version of Metamorph (1.9.13 or higher). I'm not responsible for anything you do to your phone.
WARNING:
Make sure USB Debugging is enabled in Settings -> Applications -> Development.
If you're using the standard TouchWiz launcher, this morph will remove the Messaging icon from the bottom dock. To get it back, open your applications, press menu, view type, customizable. Menu again, then edit. Find the Messaging icon, drag it back into the dock, then menu, save, menu, view type, alphabetical grid (or whatever you had it on before.)

does this change the battery so that it is actually accurate?
Thanks for the tip. I really like how this looks.

Yeah, the battery uses the HTC scale to show level, not the completely retarded Samsung scale that always shows damn near full.
This might be a dumb question, but I'm new to android so I'm gonna fire away anyways. I really prefer the way this made my notification bar look, but there is one thing that seriously bothers me up there, although it isn't directly related to this thread.
Is there any way to change the notifications for apps in the notification bar on the left side? In particular, I hate the way the juicedefender notification looks, and would like to change it to something... less colorful. Is this possible?
Short answer: Yes, if you're dead set on doing it.
Long answer: Metamorph wasn't really designed for Market apps, but it has been done. You would need to create an icon, and then build a metamorph zip around it. You could also pull the app from your computer, remove the icon, replace it with a new one, and resign the zip file. If you're not sure what you're doing, both methods will be a pain in the ass, but luckily there are plenty of tutorials on XDA.

Thanks, I sent you a PM to prevent the further derailment of the original thread.
On a more on topic note, every time I look at my notification bar I like it more and more. The battery icon does seem more accurate, and it didn't affect the brightness control swipe action.
this WILL work if using a launcher separate from TouchWiz right? i use LauncherPro, and just making completely sure before i try using it.

Yes. This modifies the system framework, not the launcher. Technically this morph will work on any HDPI android phone.
What do you mean by not supporting market apps? I can't put apps on the home screen?

is there anything special I need to do to calibrate the battery icon? I'm at 67% battery right now and it's showing the same scale as the old samsung icon (i.e a sliver shaved off to denote the battery is between 50%-75%)
Do I sideload this onto my captivate or how do I install it??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Install Metamorph from the market, and move the file in the download link to your phone. There will be a folder called AndroidThemes on the root level of your SD card. Open Metamorph and locate it, the hit extract. After it extracts, select the applications you'd like to modify, or just hit Apply All.
Thanks Man I Got It And It Was Completly Easy Greatly Appreciated
This looks great, thanks for the info. : )

I was explaining to a previous poster that Metamorph wasn't designed to be used to theme market apps. You can put whatever you want on the home screen. This morph just replaces the images. It doesn't change functionality at all.

It's possible that the Samsung battery fiasco runs deeper than just the images. I thought mine was showing a more realistic scale, but I could easily be mistaken.
I ran this and my phone just cut to black after applying 4/4 and now won't start?
edit: sorry, stupid, gave it time, pulled the battery, restarted... it's working fine... I just got a big over-anxious
It will soft reboot after applying the framework-res package. As long as it's allowed to run, you will be fine. If you did something stupid, such as pull the battery, you'll need to push framework-res.apk to /system/framework over ADB from recovery in order to get it to boot again.

I sat waiting for a solid 5 minutes with nothing happening. I tried holding down the power button for varying periods of time, to no avail. Plugged in/unplugged USB: nothing...
Eventually said "**** it" because it wasn't responding to anything, and pulled the battery. Replugged the battery, booted fine, the new framework installed just fine.
edit: I should note that I have removed the standard e-mail.apk (not the gmail one) and it tossed out a comment saying it wasn't there, but I assumed it would just skip it and move on (that's the only thing I could imagine that would cause it to sit at the black screen for so long)

I actually believe that the signal icon isn't changing right now but should be a simple fix wifi icon DOES change colors though.
I am going to try to update this a little every night I get a chance so more and more it will look like s0niqu3's release.
Edit: Signal icons and battery should be fixed in next release.
just want to make sure, but what if i have another rom installed? i'm assuming if it runs noobs rom i should be ok with other roms but asking to make sure. thanks
If the rom you are using is running off DI07 and the /system is deodexed then it should install fine, BUT I do not know for sure. Worse case scenario if it doesn't work simply reflash Rom you are using.
v0.2 released, battery as % 1-100 and charging battery fixed. Also, signal colors fixed.

Sweet love themes!! love color
Been stuck at work all day, finally heading home. Looking forward to this. Qucik question in terms of the signal bar colors, 1 and 2 are red? 3 and 4 are yellow? and 5 and 6 are blue? Oh and is there anyway we can make the WIFI Green at full instead of Blue? 3LL02152UE603813E send a little thanx for your efforts your way, not a lot, but hey u can buy a beer lol, Liking the theme, one thing I noticed is my battery is a little off, and the would like to keep the stock bar and dropdown fonts and icons. Really like the regular one that comes stock with the phone.
Yeah no problem wifi to green will be easy, stock dropdown buttons easy as well, the font should be stock as this download doesn't change the font but if u had a different theme on before this font is still that theme. Next release ill include the stock fonts in the update.zip.
Also, only bar 1 is red, 2 and 3 are yellow and 4 5 and 6 are blue I did this cause well I thought 2 bars wasn't quite a red situation but could change if you wanted.

Dont want to make you feel like im asking for a lot lol, Not my intention but IF you can add those changes, I think would make the theme even better than it is. Again that is my opinion others might disagree. One thing I was meaning to ask was if we could switch the Settings page to look more like the evo 4Gs settings, that would be cool. Or maybe we can use these battery icons and 3G and 4G Icons instead of the soniques one. Included a pic of the Evo settings page.

I will try to implement those changes in v0.4. Let me know your thoughts on v0.3.
Definetly getting better and closer to what I was looking for. Thanx for all the work again. Anyway here's what I meant with the dropwdown bar, colors are off, I would prefer to just have the stock one. Again thnx for the work u are putting into this. Noticed the color and font are not the stock fonts? Btw I am using Andromedias Rom.

Just to save another error you want icons and settings(please explain what you mean by settings further) from here:

And you want the notifications dropdown to be the stock(vibrant stock or epic stock?) Also from that picture you provided I believe that is stock epic fonts(once again do you mean vibrant?) but I could be wrong, if you have a link or a screenshot of exactly what you want that would help.
Just let me know if this is what you were wanting, and if there is anything else you wanted.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768848
his theme is awesome by the way.
The settings color is not the color you wanted still, and the battery and 3g 4g icons were a bit more complicated than I expected. The battery in the download doesn't have each individual % so if you want that battery I would have to go through and do it myself. The 3g icons just need to be renamed and replaced, and there are no 4g icons? I am sure I just need to look a bit harder.
Either way let me know what you think.
Thank you. Tried v0.3 and love it, will upgrade to v0.4.
One minor request if possible... Can you please make the battery percentage font fatter/thicker? The existing font is little hard to read, thicker font would probably solve the minor issue.
Once again, THANK YOU!!
Version 4 is Pretty GOOD, If you can get the battery from the other theme it would be awesome, Looking forward to having the settings page theme. Awesome work man.
Hey man, wondering how this is coming along. Keep up the great work.
I worked all weekend si not much has been done but I am planning on continuing this until a v1.0.

This should work for most builds. If you dont see your ROM build in the flashes then this is what you will want to try! If your current ROM does not have 1-100% battery then use "No Batt" version!! Remember make sure USB debug is on, and for Froyo if you get a FC or a crash then soft reset. When phone is back up continue on to the next part of the theme!

My theme WILL still work if afterward you use one of the circle battery mods of your choice!
EXTRAS
This is some stuff I have thrown together by request of other users. Figured this would be a good place to put it.

Awesome work. Do you mind if I use this as a base for my red and black theme? It'll save me from having to skin a lot of images since this is what I was going for in the first place.
Looking good....will morph and report back.
Edit: looks great on AOSP 2.2 beta 3

You can either to it the hard way, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812541
Or, what I would personally recommend.
Take my Metamorph file and using winrar or 7zip double click the file to open it.
Take the file you want to use and rename it "status_bar_background.9.png".
Replace the old file inside of MMDarkness/twframework-res/res/drawable-hdpi with the new one you just renamed, close the file, and place it on your phone.
Using Metamorph find the new theme, If there was an old Darkness theme then "Replace" not update, and then theme the twframework-res theme.
You are done, soft reset to see changes!
Do you have to change the size of the graphic before injecting it into framework.apk?

well the size of that file in the framework.apk is 32x something and your file is much bigger. So I was just curious

I love this theme, but I have one suggestion. The checkmarks in settings are hard to see. I'd like to see them in green.
Very cool Reefer....glad to see some new morphs coming.
Well that got borked. I followed the steps in the post you pointed me to and it black screened on me. I fortunately had nixxed's update.zip on my sd card and was able to get back to a working phone. Guess I will save that for a later date

I also listed the steps to get it done a much easier way... did you try it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Was I only supposed to put it in one framework? I put it in twframework-res.apk and also framework-res.apk
I didn't try it your way as I didn't put your theme back on after my earlier restore. I had done something and my nandroid was of b6 which had your theme on it but didn't realize it was b6 so I restored then updated to b7 and didn't put your theme back on. To make a long winded explination
I have applied the morph (great work by the way, made my first one today lol) but the top buttons above the dialer didnt change. I still have the default blue. Do you know what the png is called for that one? Also on the lock screen once you slide it over to unlock it the back half turns back to green green?
I talked to Hans regarding a thread specific to the Axura ROM. We were getting some great ideas from people, and needed a place to put it all together, without cluttering up the ROM thread. So I got his blessing. Out of respect you know
If you have any yourself and are interested in displaying them here; go for it! There have been some great things being tossed around. I use the standard 960x800(Or very close to it). Personally I use Flikie to display my wallpapers, any new ones I download/create, I just go to my SD(Internal)/Flikie and copy them in the Wallpapers folder.
Most of the ones I have are images I have acquired from other locations, Flikie, Zedge, Deviant Art, etc. I just do my own bit of modifications to fit my needs. If I can locate the original creator, I will most definitely credit them. Please do the same.

Here are 2 bootanimations I did, Dr. Bogger was nice enough to convert them from the animated GIF's to the .zip file.

Using Root explorer, go to, System/Media/bootanimation.zip, and make a backup of this file. Copy the boot animation of your choice to your device and rename it bootanimation. Copy/Paste it to System/Media and select "Yes" to overwrite.
Reboot
Great job by dlfuse06 for making the blackhands into a Live Wallpaper. It's freakin' awesome! Just copy it to your device, and install it just like any other apk. I've renamed it to "BlackHandsLive"

The JK3, JK4, JL3 modems and both SetiroN's kernels are all for use with CWM, which is there too

No problem!
This isn't a wallpaper or boot animation, but it seemed like an appropriate place to post it. I've been making some slight alterations to the stock axura theme and thought some one else might want to use it. It mostly just changes the button presses from the ugly stock blue to orange. Just about everything in the system is orange to match (I like consistency).
It also has the AOSP lock screen instead of the modified android lockscreen. I like this better since I use a music player (Playerpro) that has lockscreen controls that uses the AOSP lockscreen sliders and I like consistency.
It also changes the tabs on the top of the phone and contacts app to a gray color instead of the blue.
The notification bar is the same that comes on Axura except I've put in the battery icons from beta 4. If someone likes the orange but wants the circle battery back, I'd be happy to provide that too.
You can just flash the file from CWM.

I'm working on it currently. I'm not really sure the best way to show the button press in a screen shot, but I'm going to take a few of the lock screen, notification bar, and the pull down. If you have any screen shot you'd like to see let me know.
I'd also like to point out that I didn't create any of these image files. I just pieced them together from other themes that I like.
Edit: Screen shots are up.

Here you go.
If you applied the jacked up metamorph I added 1.1/1.1a you will need to SBF to get your **** right, sorry, I warned you. After you get SBF'd back to stock you can re-root and apply 1.1d. No more surprises, PROMISE!
After seeing a lot of requests for a Gingerbread theme I decided that since
MetaMorph seems to dangerously be working why not give it a go and just
compile a large Gingerbread theme for it.
Note of caution: Using MetaMorph can potentially softbrick your phone,
in all my testing I have yet to do so, but just know it is a possibility. I am not
responsible for anything that happens from you using this MetaMorph theme.

Thanks testing out now!!!

Edit2: NVM found the solution

Yea I edited step 4....it seemed a little ambiguous at that point I should have
screened it step by step. I'm cloning the CM7 repo right now for the other images I need.
Donating soon!
I'm totally wiped after work today...i'm cloning every repo I need, including the
documentation on what gets compiled where and then i'll update tomorrow in the
AM with v2.
Also going to be adding multicolor themes...(cyanogen, red, white, pink, etc.)
OK, so my WiFI, Battery icon, and black notification bar seem to be going well..
HOWEVER, for my signal bar, when I boot it up it shows the Gingerbread style signal icons, then after approx. 5 seconds it disappears and shows the stock icons.
Could Jewremy's Mods have affected this?

OK, let's run over this again...
- You SBF'd to get rid of Jewremy's Mods
- Re-rooted
- Re-applied the MetaMorph
And still no success?
Bear in mind, I haven't used Jewremy's mods.
After some looking...it will be easier to mod Jewremy's ModKit...and update this thread with
the modded version, if he'll allow it.
Yeah--Of course I could've just pushed the old framework-res.apk back onto my system, but there was so much edited crap inside the old framework-res.apk that I decided to just SBF.
Yeah, you can see the changed signal icon for like a few seconds when the phone boots up but right after, the icons change back to the stock icons. The same thing is happening with the 3G icon.
I think it will be easier to use Jewremy's ModKit to apply these mods. having the SystemUI.apk constantly force closing and stuff is going to give people a tough time!
It sounds like it has something to do with when the phone syncs with google, it changes to the stock icons. Did you change those also? There are the white ones, and the green.

Well after visiting the idea a little more thoroughly...i'll feel much better using
metamorphs...i'm looking through Jewremy's stuff trying to figure why they
default back to the stock, especially if the values/images have been
changed/overwritten on the SystemUI.
The changes metamorph makes are not as system intensive as Jewremy so
from a theming perspective not using his mods may be a price to consider
when using metamorphs. Nothing against him or his mods.
I've decompiled SYstemUI.apk and i'm sifting through what I can in it right now.
I left out icons in the metamorph unintentionally, working on releasing the newest
now...to be exact I included icons for 'fully' whenyou ryou are connected to Googles
servers but left off the default ones...been months since I themed anything. New 1.1
zip in 20 minutes.
I've received permission for you to use Jewremy's ModKit for use in your themes.
[18:53] <kshen1> Jewremying
[18:53] == erismaster_ [[email protected]] has joined #krazyk
[18:53] <kshen1> Jewremy: we're wondering if we could use your ModKit to create our own themes
[18:54] <Jewremy> yeah. go for it.
[18:54] <Jewremy> I used uot.dakra.lt and apkmanager to do everything.
So it is safe in a sense to change icons, notification pull down and lock screens? Im asking because I created a thread where people could post what they used and worked and its basically collecting dust, lol.

You should make a MM to get back to stock, too.
Also, can't wait for notification bar + overscroll + others.
v 1.1 w/ signal icon and other notification icon fixes upped, check OP.
@kshen, the reason you were getting that error was because I left some important icons out
of the folders, it has been corrected now.
Downloading now, will report back
Status bar is fixed, but other stuff is broken. hold on while i upload a video!
